PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,924, dated June 9, 1885.

Application fnea March 7, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom. it may concern:

Beit known that I, PHILIP A. MYERS, of Ashland, in the county of Ashland and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to hand-pumps, or pumps adapted to be worked by hand or by a wind-engine.

In the 'accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the pump. Fig. 2 shows the connection between handle and rod. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section of the pump. Fig. 4 is a modification of the invention as applied to a force-pump. Figi. 5 are detail views of the guides for the rod.

In the form of pump represented in the drawings a pipe, A, preferably of the ordinary kind of water-pipe, is extended upward through the base-plate a, in which it is held by a set-screw. This pipe terminates a little below the position of the spout, and is screwthreaded for connection with the spout-piece. This spout-piece is cast with the spout, and consists of a short tube, b, on which the spout c is formed. The tube bis threaded internally on its lower end for connection with the upper end of the pipe A. The upper end of the pipe b may be preferably enlarged to form a capacious air-chamber having only an opening (with or without a stuffing-box) for the passage of the pump-rod.

As above described, the spout piece is screwed to the pump-tube, and the pumptube is held by means of a setscrew to the base-plate a. inafter to be described, a cap projects in the line of the pump-rod, and lits snugly over the end of the spout-piece b, serving not only as a guide for the pump-rod, but as a support and bearing for the upper end of the spoutpiece. When it is desired, therefore, to adjust the spout, it is only necessary to loosen the set-screw at the lower part, which connects the base-plate and the pump-tube, and the spout with its spout-piece and pump-tube may be adjusted in any direction.

'The handle-bracket B is preferably of ca stiron, and is formed with a tubular part, d,

From the handle-bracket, herei tted to slip over and turn upon the pipe A. Above this tubular part, and in line therewith, is a cap, e, formed on the bracket and adapted to iit over the upper end of the spoutpiece. It also has a guiding-hole for the passage of the pump-rod. The tubular part d may extend down to and rest upon the base-plate, or a piece of pipe f may be interposed; but the bracket turns freely with the pipe d and cap e on the pipe A and spout-piece.

The handle E is pivoted on the extension g of the bracket. This extension is turned at right angles over the line of the pump-rod, and serves as an upper guide for said rod, which passes through a hole in said extension. A lower guide is provided within the pipe b. (Shown clearly in detail view, Fig. 5, at e.) The rod passes between cross-bars, and the water passes up through the water-space upon each side of these bars. The end of the handle connected to the rod is forked and straddles the pump-rod. It is connected to said rod by links Z l, so that the rod is free to reciprocate in a vertical line, and plays between the forked end of the handle. This construction of the end of the handle also provides a guide for the rod at this point. In Fig. 4 I have shown this form of handle and links applied to aforce-pump. Suitable guides are secured to the pump-stock, and the links are preferably made somewhat longer than those in the lift-pumps, otherwise the construction is the same in both pumps.

This construction renders the pump particularly applicable to be used in connection with a wind-engine.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, in a pump, of the pump-tube, a spout and spout-piece-secured tothe upper end thereof, a base-plate, and bracket supporting the handle, the lower end of said bracket surrounding the pump-tube, and a projection, c, upon the upper part, forming a bearing for the spout-piece, all substantially as described.

2. In a pump, the combination of a pumptube, spout and spout-piece connected thereto, ahandle-bracket having its lower part surrounding the pump-tube and supported from the base-plate, the projection e, resting upon IOO the upper part of the spout-piece, said proto this speoiicationin the presence of two subjection having a guide-opening for the pumpseribing witnesses. 1 rod and a second uide, e laced within the spoilt-piece and mvable thlerein in the adL PHILIP A MYERS' 5 justment of the bracket and pump-rod, all Witnesses:

substantially as described. B. S. GRossoUP, In testimony whereof I have signed my name P. P. LEFEVRE.
